ADVICE TO JUNIORS AND SENIORS (AT COMMENCEMENT) As we come together in this gay. It’s hard to tell just what to say. Tonite the Seniors are about to leave us And yet we have the Juniors with us. Juniors, you who are left, it's right I urge you to carry on the fight; Take up the banner, carry it through. And be ever loyal, brave and true The Seniors have set your goal, so high That to reach it you’ll have to try; Ever keep before you that mark on high, And ever strive to reach it—never say die. A wdfrd to the Juniors I have given— And now, to the Seniors who are leaving. Seniors, we praise you for the battle won. But I want to warn you life’s really begun; Life stretches away to that distant shore. And to reach it you must work more and more. 3o glory not in victories won. But think of life as just begun; Your accomplishments will be as naught to you. If you think that life is thruogh. I wish for you each a vision of life That will teach you to conquer mortal strife; That will make the pathway bright, you trod, And in the end lead you to God. Seniors, we re sorry you’re leaving old V. H. S. Truly you’ve been a loyal class We wish you Godspeed in your coming years. And may you all have shining careers. meeting —C. C. Elliott
